We already know that the events of The Last Stand will be acknowledged by James Mangold's The Wolverine, and most of the Original Trilogy alumni casting announcements that have been made this far for DoFP are consistent with things as they were at the end of TLS, with Anna Paquin's Rogue being the only character whose return will need to be explained in some capacity.

She and Singer got into a spat on set, when Singer hurt his back and was on painkillers, and Berry always wanted more for Storm to do, but the two haven't worked together in 11 years. Surely, that's enough time for any drama to have subsided.

I don't think they'd still have an as tense relationship as they have had in the past but as someone said on this board a while back, Bryan will most likely only hire actors that fit the story and he'd be happy to work with. Given that Bryan is also a writer on this I wouldn't be surprised if his draft doesn't include Storm, a character he doesn't find interesting.

I would like to know if we'll see Daniel Cudmore or other students from the X-Men school. Also, what about Aaron Standford, Tyler Mane, Ray Park or Vinnie Jones? Some of these might not be that great, but at least it would be good to see them in cameos just for continuity.

The only thing that seems ironic with all these different actors in this movie from different time periods is that Kevin Bacon isn't in this to connect everyone together in some way. He should've been in this as an in joke.

Alright, so I would like to say something. Everyone is blaming Brett Ratner for the story and characters treatment in X3... and he does take responsibility for accepting the role of director after Bryan Singer and Matthew Vaughn stepped out... but if you actually look at the details, the story of X3 was shaped by Matthew Vaughn (director of First Class), Simon Kinberg (writer of Days of Future Past), Zak Penn (X2 writer), and many of the same producers of all the X-men films; Kevin Feige, Ralph Winter and Lauren Shuler Donner. Bryan Singer probably had some influence in the early stages as well... When Brett Ratner came in, it was so far into the game, he was basically taking what was already established and filming it, with adding a little bit of his own input. But the script was actually established more from people who everyone is actually praising. But in reality, all of these people are to blame for the weaknesses of X3, I know it's easy to just pin it on the scapegoat but it's foolish to think that he was entirely to blame. Brett Ratner doesn't even know anything about the X-men comics, if you listen to his Commentary with Simon Kinberg (doing this movie) he is ignorant. All of the ideas of killing characters, or plot points came from other people, not Ratner himself. And yes X3 is part of the continuity, why wouldn't it be just because you didn't like it. I've said this in other posts, franchises have to accept the bad sequels/prequels as well. I'm super excited Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore and Anna Paquin are back, super excited. Hopefully Anna Paquin actually gets her powers (because the cure isn't permanent, as you see from Magneto, and by powers I mean at least super strength) and Ellen Page gets to shine some more as Kitty Pryde.

Im pretty sure this cements the idea that the "future" is likely where the setting of the film is rather than the future people coming to the past. The "future" cast is getting much larger than the present. I think the past xmen will travel to the future.
